Kohli said he was happy that he could show his less-experienced team-mates the way, since he had been demanding ruthlessness off them right from the start of the series. "From the first match I have spoken about creating a culture of ruthlessness and winning habit in the team, and it has come off beautifully," he said. "If I ask the guys to be ruthless while being lazy myself, I'll look stupid at the end of the day. Especially in a young team, the guys who are experienced have to lead the way. In a team, negativity can spread really quickly. You see two heads falling and six more will fall. "The more the young guys see this kind of performances, and know that the intent and aggression is coming from the top, they would want to follow. So, I, as the captain of the team, need to be at that intensity level first before asking anyone else to be there. It's a conscious effort I have to make, and it's not that hard for me because I have always played my cricket like that."
Once he's back in form, he is speaking like a future captain. "boys", "guide", etc. What a difference of SL tour makes to his speak.! Back in UK when he was Anderson's bunny, he was meeker. Suddenly, he wants others to follow him and do what he does. :giggle: Not complaining, he has to be the future captain as only one who deserved to be in all 3 teams of India.
